Porcelain Throne

V1, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: Someone Long Ago

Description

Start deep in the scoop feature with an obvious foot front and center, and hands pressed on both sides. Do a few chimney moves until you can stretch up to some good but slippery holds, then try to pull over the top without getting flushed!

Not very protectable without getting a pad wet in the "toilet water", which is a shame because this is such an amazing feature to climb on.

Location

When atop the overlook / plateau about 5 minutes after crossing the EZ Bridge, you will see a large protruding boulder way out near the Potomac. Facing the overlook is a large, scooped out feature. This is the "Porcelain Throne."
